Chancellor's Welcome CHANCELLOR'S WELCOME On behalf of Simon Fraser University, it is my honour to welcome you to our June 2011 Convocation Ceremony. Simon Fraser University is proudly different. In fact, an important part of the vision for this University has always been about being different in ways that mattered, ways that would benefit our students, our faculty and the conmmnities we serve. Since we first opened on September 9th, 1965 with 2, 500 students, Simon Fraser University has been building the traditions and reputation that define us. Our university has stayed true to the core philosophy and values upon which it was built. We are proud of our reputation for intellectual and academic freedom and our unfaltering commitment to academic innovation and lifelong learning. It is our willingness to be different that sets us apart as innovators and mavericks. Through innovative teaching, research and conununity outreach, we continue to foster discovery, diversity and dialogue. Convocation celebrates an important milestone for our students, their families, teachers and friends. In selecting Simon Fraser University, our students chose an education that inspires open-minded, adaptable and resilient lifelong learning. We honour our students for their achievements and commitment and wish them every success in realizing their unique individual potential within their chosen communities, professions and industries. Brandt C. Louie Chancellor PRESIDENT'S WELCOME Convocation marks an important milestone in your life. I join vvith others in offering you my warm congratulations on this extraordinary achievement. In addition, I would like to express my thanks to members of your family and all others who made it possible for you to pursue your studies at Simon Fraser University. They believed in you, they supported you, and they share in your pride. This is also an important day of accomplishment for them. Our convocation ceremony is unique to Simon Fraser, but is built upon imagery and symbolism that reflects the mediaeval origins of our University's inheritance. Led in academic procession by the stirring sound of our six-time World Champion SFU Pipe Band, the robed graduands pass two-by-two into Convocation Mall, accompanied by faculty and dignitaries in their colourful regalia. It is a special moment in a magnificent setting to be remembered for years to come. At SFU, almost 80 percent of our graduating classes take part in the ceremony.

In January 1963 a report recommended the creation of a new university in the Lower Mainland-two months later the establishment of Simon Fraser University received formal assent in the British Columbia Legislature, and Dr Gordon M. Shrum was appointed the first Chancellor. From a variety of sites, the Chancellor recommended the top of 1200 foot high Burnaby Mount<1in, with its magnificent views ofBurrard Inlet, the Coast Mountains, the Fraser River, and Vancouver harbour. The Vancouver firm of Erickson/Massey won the design competition, but the four runner-up architects each designed at least one building within the overall plan. Construction began in the spring of 1964 and eighteen months later, on September 9, 1965, Simon Fraser University opened to 2, 500 charter students. Since then the University has grown substantially, with the establishment ofSFU Vancouver in 1980, and the establishment of SFU Surrey in 2002. SFU's Vancouver campus offers programs and services directed to mid-career intellectual and professional growth. With several striking downtown bnildings, the campus currently serves over 70, 000 people annually. In 2010 the School for the Contemporary Arts moved its Burnaby programs to the Vancouver campus, occupying a new facility on the redeveloped Woodward's site. SFU's Surrey campus promotes student success with a learning environment based on innovative teaching approaches, small class sizes, and a vibrant research community. SFU's newest campus occupies a stunning facility designed by renowned architect Bing Thom, officially opened in September 2006. SYMBOLS OF SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY The original Coat ofArms was granted to the University in 1965 by the Lord Lyon, King ofArms, in Edinburgh. The 1965 arms were registered in Canada in 2007 and are now attached to the Office of the Chancellor. In 2007, the Canadian Heraldic Authority granted a modification of the Coat of Arms at the request of the University. The arms are based on the arms of Fraser of Lovat, from whom the University's namesake was descended via the Frasers of Culbokie. The blue quarters with white "fraises" i.e., strawberry flowers (a pun on the name Fraser) are the basic Fraser arms, while the white quarters with red crowns are those ofLovat. There are three books at the top of the shield, representing education. The heraldic description of the arms is; "Quarterly; first and fourth Azure three fraises Argent; second and third Argent three antique crowns Gnles, all within a bordure quarterly Argent and Gules, on a chief Gules three open books proper, bound and edged Or." The University's motto Nous sommes prets, meaning "We are ready", is a variation of the traditional motto of the Clan Fraser. The mace was commissioned by University ;irchitects Erickson and Massey, and was presented to the University at the opening ceremonies on September 9, 1965. The mace is 61 inches long and weighs 23 pounds. Pieces of cut and polished jade, which were taken from the University's jade boulder in the Academic Quadrangle reflecting pool, were set in silver by its designer, Haida artist Bill Reid. The mace is crowned by a silver stag's head, derived from the coat-of-arms of Lord Lovat, head of the Clan Fraser. The Fraser tradition was to fasten sprigs of yew in their bonnets before entering battle, and the mace was carved from two hundred-year-old yew, gathered on Burnaby Mountain by a resident in the 1940s. 5- Lord Lovat presented the University with a claymore, or great sword, on September 9, PARTICIPANTS 1965. The claymore was first used by a Fraser at the Battle of Culloden Moor in 1746. It Chief Marshal was also used by a Fraser at the Battle of the Plains ofAbraham in 17 59. The claymore is Dr Paul Budra approximately 36 inches long and weighs two pounds.

Parkinson’s disease typically begins in a person’s 50s or 60s and slowly progresses with age. Early onset of Parkinson’s disease before age 30 is rare, but up to 10 percent of cases begin by age 40. Descriptions of people with symptoms consistent with Parkinson’s disease appeared in ancient time and periodically thereafter.5 Lack of patient registries, however, makes it difficult to estimate incidence and trends of the disease even in recent times. The range of reported incidence varies from 4.5 to 21 per 100,000 people annually. Historically, most attention has focused on degeneration of dopamine-producing cells in a portion of the midbrain called the substantia nigra.a When they can no longer produce adequate dop- amine, neurons elsewhere in the brain are less well regulated and do not behave normally.

Current therapeutic options fall short in improving the survival of patients with GBM. Various genetic and microenvironmental factors contribute to GBM progression and resistance to therapy. The development of gene therapies using self-replicating oncolytic viruses can advance GBM treatment. Due to GBM heterogeneity, oncolytic viruses have been genetically modified to improve the antiglioma effect in vitro and in vivo. Oncolytic viruses can activate autophagy signaling in GBM upon tumoral infection. Autophagy can be cytoprotective, Citation: Kamynina, M.; whereby the GBM cells catabolize damaged organelles to accommodate to virus-induced stress, or Tskhovrebova, S.; Fares, J.; Timashev, cytotoxic, whereby it leads to the destruction of GBM cells.

  • Parkinson's Disease and Peripheral Neuropathy
    Chapter 4 Parkinson’s Disease and Peripheral Neuropathy Peter Podgorny and Cory Toth Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/57106 1. Introduction Idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD), an age-dependent neurodegenerative disorder without known cause, is well known to manifest with rest tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia and gait instability on examination [1, 2]. However, other ancillary manifestations have become accepted over the years, including cognitive decline, depression, and autonomic dysfunction [3]. All of these clinically presenting features have long been known to result from disease within the central nervous system, where IPD is pathologically associated with degeneration of the substantia nigra [4]. The possibility of peripheral nervous system functional or pathological involvement in IPD has only recently been considered. One form of peripheral nervous system disease is a peripheral neuropathy, a distal-predominant process affecting the feet and legs, and in more severe cases, the hands and torso [5]. Peripheral neuropathy can manifest as a disease of the axons or the myelin, or both, within nerve fibers. In addition, sensory nerve fibers carrying information for touch, pain and temperature sensations (small nerve fibers termed Aδ and C fibers) as well as for vibration detection and proprioception (large nerve fibers termed Aα and Aβ fibers) can be selectively affected. In most cases, sensory dysfunction appears first, followed by further disease of large nerve fibers leading to loss of reflexes and the possible development of weakness. Symptoms of a peripheral neuropathy may include the early onset of numbness, tingling or prickling sensations, followed by the later onset of incoordination, weakness and pain [6].
